Do these quotes have to be from books?
"This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness
instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates
the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be
exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light ..."
This one IS from a book (since I wasn't sure), and there are bonus points
for completing the last sentence.

Can I make up an ending, or do I have to find the book? What if I can
make up a better edning than the one in the book, then what? Is there
a prize?

Re #2: For bonus points, you have to give the ending that appears in the
original, or some appropriate translation of what most scholars believe the
author wrote.
Re #3: As fond as John Smith was of copying, I wouldn't be surprised, but
that's not where I got it.
Re #4: Please clarify.
Re #5: No.

Re #9: No, but what little of his I've read indicates that he is almost that
thoughtful. Ender's Game was COOL!

The first book of John the apostle, otherwise known as the apostle of love.
I believe the first chapter, without looking it up. If this is correct please
give the translation.

The reason I asked for clarification was that there is a gospel attributed
to John, which appears before the book known as 1 John (aka First John), but
there's no telling which one was written first. So what I am saying is that
"the first book of John" is VERY ambiguous.
The apostle John, aka the disciple whom Jesus loved, DID write the quote.

E.R. Burroghs, "At Earth's Core"?
I know I've seen this lately, and At Earths Core is the only book that would
be likely to have that quote.
